Red Cross President Is Ousted
Over Relationship With Employee
/>SUMMARY: The American Red Cross ousted its president, Mark Everson, after
learning that he had engaged in a "personal relationship" with a subordinate
employee. The board "concluded that the situation reflected poor judgment on
Mr. Everson's part and diminished his ability to lead the organization in the future."
QUESTIONS:
1.) Why do you think the Red Cross has had rapid turnover in its top positions
based on, in this case, inappropriate relationship and with the past two
presidents, conflict and friction with the board if governors?
2.) Most non-profit organization do not develop formal ethics programs similar
to corporate ethics programs. Why do you think non-profits feel that they do
not need to manage organizational ethics?
3.) In this case, is there anything the Red Cross could have done to prevent Mr
Everson from creating a situation that damages the reputation of the Red Cross?
